First thing makes us first great impression is O & B customer service, they tried their best to accommodate our requests. We didn't make reservation and it is a full house booking on Thursday evening. We were seated outside the patio area (inside the mall, outside the restaurant) the heater is on which is comforting during the whole dining experience. A staff named Megan, I have to say she is a great greeter in the front and well managed our concerns and requests to the seating. I am glad to have a good start of the dinner. :) sometimes you walk in to a place they don't really seem care in service because they think they are big branded and it is not a matter if losing a customer. U know what I mean. So yes this is a great quality they have.
Our server brought us two round of breads. They taste fresh and warm too. Pretty good they care to warm them up before putting on to diner table.
We ordered a Thursday Special and Seared Salmon and a cup of mushroom soup. Our server is very responsible and she asked us if we have any food allergy. This is a very good practise in her role. I think they did a great job in training their staffs and if they could maintain this that I would have to return and share here again.
Lets talk about food.
The special Thursday is breaded chicken with herbs and salads. It is very juices and average size for lady, not enough for a hungry person. I guess its special priced and the size is proportional with its price.
The seared salmon is ok. Not as juice as I was expecting. Pan fried is not the best to cook the fish, I just find it a little bit dry.
I enjoyed the mushroom soup a lot as it has a very strong flavour of mushrooms and only problem is the savoury is too strong for me. :) but I recommend it as it is the best mushroom flavoring soup surely they use alots of mushroom by looking the soup color assuming there isn't any artificial mushroom drops used. ;)
At the end, dessert is a must and make a perfect dinner complete. We ordered what the server recommended us .... The daily made fresh cheese cake. That's wonderfully made, warm and fresh. I have to say this is the best cheesecake I have tasted so far.
The phyto layer outside is a tasteful flavor to prepare the taste bud before a bit of this sharable cheesecake , fabulous match with my cup of coffee.
I really enjoy my dinner tonight and one score less is banked to my next visit. :)
